Gouties play Gimmies in Welkom

On Saturday the two Welkom rivals meet in an FNB Classic Clash – Hoërskool Goudveld and Welkom Gimnasium.

Gimmies have won this goldfields derby more often than Goudveld and look favourites this time as well but a derby can be unsettling.

Last year Gouties were favourites and won during their celebrations. This year Gimmies are the favourites.

The season thus far

Gimmies have played against stronger opposition and have done well.
